Poplar Housing & Regeneration Community Association

The complainant has requested information regarding properties which the organisation has earmarked for regeneration and/or disposal. He has also requested copies of contracts relating to a specific redevelopment project. The Commissioner’s decision is that Poplar Housing & Regeneration Community Association is a public authority for the purposes of the Environmental Information Regulations. As it has failed to respond to either request within 20 working days, it has therefore breached Regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires Poplar HARCA to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the EIR, to both requests. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0199 appeal allowed. Information Tribunal appeal GIA/1078/2019 dismissed.
